So yeah, Google totally just won the conference showdown by easily beating both Apple and Microsoft. Not only did Google announce Android 4.1 with some really cool new features, a cheap but non-crippled tablet, and a new Android device called the Nexus Q, but they also opened up pre-orders for Google Glass. So yeah.

The ultimate demo smackdown. You do have a way of putting things in perspective, Clay!

Clay Johnson originally shared this post:
Google managed to get an unfinished product to live stream jumping out of a plane, bicycle down a wall, and jump onto a stage. It was done flawlessly when people could have actually died and there wasn't a blip. No crashes, no deaths.

Microsoft Surface's browser wouldn't launch.

Its obvious Google won the presentation show down just on that.. The surface tablet crashed live on stage, how rubbish is that ?
